Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology and relates to a steel plate transfer system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, steel plates are widely used as an important basic material in many fields. Whether in construction, automobile manufacturing, or the home appliance industry, the precise and efficient processing of steel plates is one of the key links to improve overall production efficiency. Among the many production processes, steel plate transfer, as a crucial step connecting various processing steps, directly affects the performance of the entire production line in terms of its efficiency and degree of automation.

[0003] Traditionally, the transfer of steel plates has relied primarily on manual labor. This method is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. Furthermore, manual transfer presents safety hazards, increasing the risk of worker injury and compromising the surface quality of the steel plates.

[0004] To address these issues and improve the efficiency and safety of steel plate transfer, vacuum suction cup technology has emerged as a method for steel plate transfer. This technology utilizes vacuum suction cups to adhere to the surface of the steel plate, which is then moved by robotic arms or cranes, significantly improving the automation level and efficiency of the transfer process. However, with the expansion of its application and further technological development, it has been found that existing vacuum suction cup devices are insufficiently adaptable to steel plates of different sizes. Particularly when dealing with steel plates of varying sizes, the position of the suction cups cannot be flexibly adjusted to achieve the best suction effect, which to some extent limits the further promotion and use of this technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steel plate transfer system that uses a vacuum suction cup to transfer steel plates and can be adjusted according to the shape of the steel plate, which helps to achieve a better adsorption effect.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a steel plate transfer system, including a support column, a vertical rotating shaft at the upper end of the support column, a vertical rotating sleeve rotatably connected to the vertical rotating shaft, a horizontal slide rail with an open lower end arranged horizontally outward on the vertical rotating sleeve, a sliding shaft arranged along its length direction inside the horizontal slide rail, a sliding connecting block slidably connected inside the horizontal slide rail, the sliding connecting block having a limiting sliding hole slidably connected to the sliding shaft, and roller grooves arranged along its length direction and open at the upper end on both sides of the horizontal slide rail, and displacement rollers rotatably connected to both sides of the sliding connecting block and rolling in the corresponding strip-shaped roller grooves;

[0007] The sliding connecting block extends out of the opening of the horizontal slide rail and is connected to a downwardly positioned telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder is connected downward to a vertical rotating connecting shaft. The vertical rotating connecting shaft has two vertically distributed rotating connecting slots. Each rotating connecting slot is rotatably connected to a horizontal material transfer rod. Each horizontal material transfer rod has a rotating hole in its middle that is rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating connecting slot. Each horizontal material transfer rod has multiple sliding sleeves slidably connected to both sides of the corresponding rotating hole. Each sliding sleeve has a threaded connecting hole on one side. Each threaded connecting hole is threadedly connected to a threaded clamping shaft. Each threaded clamping shaft has a knob at its outer end. Each sliding sleeve has a pneumatic suction cup at its lower end.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when transferring steel plates, two horizontal transfer rods are manually moved. When rotation is required, the force of the horizontal transfer rods drives the vertical rotating sleeve to rotate relative to the vertical axis, thus achieving rotation. The thrust of the horizontal transfer rods drives the sliding connecting block to move within the horizontal slide rail via the telescopic cylinder, achieving horizontal sliding. Ultimately, the two horizontal transfer rods can move arbitrarily. When they move above the steel plate, the angle between the two horizontal transfer rods is rotated according to the length and width of the steel plate, and the sliding sleeve is slid to ensure that the suction cups are directly above the steel plate, meeting the requirement of better adsorption of the steel plate. The telescopic cylinder extends, driving the pneumatic suction cups downward to contact the steel plate. The negative pressure device creates negative pressure in the suction cups to hold the steel plate in place, thus transferring the steel plate. After transferring to the designated location, the negative pressure of the pneumatic suction cups is disconnected, and the steel plate can be lowered, completing one steel plate transfer.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a support plate is provided at the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft of the support column, and a support bearing for the vertical rotating shaft is provided between the upper end of the support plate and the lower end of the vertical rotating sleeve.

[0010] The present invention is further provided in that a reinforcing rod is provided above the vertical rotating sleeve on the horizontal slide rail, and a vertical connecting strip is connected between the reinforcing rod and the horizontal slide rail.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the free end of the reinforcing rod is inclined and connected to the upper end of the horizontal slide rail.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the rotation between each rotating hole and the corresponding rotating connecting groove is damped.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting plate is provided below each sliding sleeve, each pneumatic suction cup is connected to the lower part of the connecting plate, a vertically arranged connecting sleeve is provided on the outer side of each sliding sleeve, a sliding connecting shaft is provided upwardly on each connecting plate and slidably connected to the corresponding connecting sleeve, a limit cap is provided at the upper end of each sliding connecting shaft, and a support spring located between the corresponding connecting plate and the corresponding connecting sleeve is sleeved on each sliding connecting shaft.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a mounting plate is provided at the lower end of the supporting column, and multiple reinforcing bars distributed in a circular pattern are connected between the mounting plate and the supporting column, and multiple mounting holes are provided on the edge of the mounting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Firstly, the two features of this utility model are that the horizontal material transfer rod can rotate arbitrarily in a scissor-like manner to meet the length and width requirements of different steel plates, and the position of the starting suction cup on the horizontal material transfer rod can also be adjusted arbitrarily according to the requirements, so that each suction cup can be adsorbed onto the steel plate, which helps to achieve a better adsorption effect.

[0017] Secondly, the pneumatic suction cup of this utility model is connected to the sliding sleeve by a support spring. Through the connection of the support spring, the pneumatic suction cup can adaptively compensate for the different height differences between the pneumatic suction cup and the steel plate when it descends, so that each suction cup can effectively adsorb the steel plate. At the same time, it also plays a buffering role, preventing the pneumatic suction cup from being damaged due to excessive rigid drop, and increasing the fault tolerance of operation.

[0024] The steel plate transfer system proposed in this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar parts.

[0025] Example, refer to Figure 1-5 A steel plate transfer system includes a mounting plate 1, with a support column 2 mounted upwards at the upper end of the mounting plate 1. Multiple circumferentially distributed stiffening strips 3 connect the mounting plate 1 and the support column 2. Multiple mounting holes 4 are provided along the edge of the mounting plate 1 for fixing the support column 2 to the ground using pre-embedded bolts. A vertical rotating shaft 5 is mounted at the upper end of the support column 2, and a support plate 6 is mounted at the lower end of the support column 2 and the vertical rotating shaft 5. A vertical rotating sleeve 7 is rotatably connected to the vertical rotating shaft 5. A support bearing 8, outer sleeve of the vertical rotating shaft 5, is provided between the upper end of the support plate 6 and the lower end of the vertical rotating sleeve 7.

[0026] A horizontally rotating sleeve 7 has a horizontally open slide rail 9 extending outwards. Above the horizontal slide rail 9, a reinforcing rod 10 is positioned along its length. The free end of the reinforcing rod 10 is inclined and connected to the upper end of the horizontal slide rail 9. Multiple vertical connecting strips 11 connect the reinforcing rod 10 and the horizontal slide rail 9 to increase the strength of the horizontal slide rail 9 and prevent it from bending or breaking due to its excessive length. Inside the horizontal slide rail 9, a sliding shaft 12 is positioned along its length. A sliding connecting block 13 is slidably connected inside the horizontal slide rail 9. The sliding connecting block 13 has a limiting sliding hole 14 that is slidably connected to the sliding shaft 12. On both sides of the horizontal slide rail 9, there is a rolling groove 15 that extends along its length and is open at the upper end. Two displacement rollers 16 that roll within the corresponding strip-shaped rolling grooves 15 are rotatably connected to both sides of the sliding connecting block 13. By adding the connection between the limiting sliding hole 14 and the sliding shaft 12, the smoothness of the sliding connecting block 13's movement is increased, preventing jamming.

[0027] A sliding connecting block 13 extends out of the opening of the horizontal slide rail 9 and is connected to a downwardly positioned telescopic cylinder 17. The telescopic cylinder 17 is connected to a negative pressure device through a conduit. The telescopic shaft of the telescopic cylinder 17 is connected downward to a vertical rotating connecting shaft 18. The vertical rotating connecting shaft 18 has two vertically distributed rotating connecting slots 19. Each rotating connecting slot 19 is rotatably connected to a horizontal material transfer rod 20. Each horizontal material transfer rod 20 has a rotating hole 21 in the middle that is rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating connecting slot 19. The rotation between each rotating hole 21 and the corresponding rotating connecting slot 19 is damped, so that the two horizontal material transfer rods 20 can rotate freely according to the shape of the steel plate to adapt to the length and width of the steel plate. Each horizontal material transfer rod 20 is slidably connected to two sliding sleeves 22 on both sides of the corresponding rotating hole 21. Each sliding sleeve 22 has a threaded connection hole 23 on one side, and each threaded connection hole 23 is threadedly connected to a threaded clamping shaft 24. Each threaded clamping shaft 24 has a knob 25 at its outer end, so that the position of the sliding sleeve 22 on the horizontal material transfer rod 20 can be freely adjusted to meet the size requirements of the steel plate. Each sliding sleeve 22 has a connecting plate 26 below it, and each connecting plate 26 has a pneumatic suction cup 27 at its lower end. The pneumatic suction cup 27 is connected to a negative pressure device through a conduit. Each sliding sleeve 22 has a vertically arranged connecting sleeve 28 on its left and right outer sides. Each connecting plate 26 has a sliding connecting shaft 29 that is slidably connected to the corresponding connecting sleeve 28. Each sliding connecting shaft 29 has a limit cap 30 at its upper end. Each sliding connecting shaft 29 is fitted with a support spring 31 located between the corresponding connecting plate 26 and the corresponding connecting sleeve 28. The support spring 31 acts as a buffer, allowing the suction cups at different positions to fully contact the steel plate.

[0028] Working principle: When transferring steel plates, the operator manually moves two horizontal transfer rods 20. When rotation is required, the force of the horizontal transfer rods 20 drives the vertical rotating sleeve 7 to rotate relative to the vertical rotating shaft 5, thus achieving rotation. The thrust of the horizontal transfer rods 20 drives the sliding connecting block 13 to move within the horizontal slide rail 9 through the telescopic cylinder 17, thus achieving horizontal sliding. Ultimately, the two horizontal transfer rods 20 can move arbitrarily. When they move above the steel plate, the angle between the two horizontal transfer rods 20 is rotated according to the length and width of the steel plate, and the sliding sleeve 22 is slid to ensure that the suction cups are directly above the steel plate to meet the requirements of better steel plate adsorption. The telescopic cylinder 17 extends, driving the pneumatic suction cup 27 downward to contact the steel plate. The negative pressure device creates negative pressure in the suction cup to hold the steel plate, thus transferring the steel plate. After transferring to the designated location, the negative pressure of the pneumatic suction cup 27 is disconnected, and the steel plate can be put down, completing one steel plate transfer.

[0029] It should also be noted that all terms such as "set up" and similar descriptive words in this application (especially the specification) indicate that two structures have or exist a connection relationship. However, the specific means by which the two are connected are not limited in detail, and are usually conventional connection methods. That is, the means should be understood as prior art and do not need to be elaborated. For example, "m is set up with n" only indicates that structure m has structure n, and whether the two are connected by welding, riveting, adhesive, or integral molding is within the scope of protection of this application. Similarly, "x is rotatably set up with y" only indicates that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by a bearing, or whether y directly passes through x and is rotatably connected to x, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
